Are you asking what happens if the bank account and routing number is wrong? If so, if the information is incorrect the bank will reject the return and send it back to the IRS. Then the IRS will process a check and mail it to the address listed on the tax return. This process can take several weeks.

If you just filed, you can try contacting the IRS to stop the direct deposit and have them send you a paper check.

Please see the IRS contact information below:

How do I contact the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)?

Note: 

You will need to follow the prompts in order to speak to an IRS agent. There is a high call volume this time of year.

When calling the IRS do NOT choose Option 1.   

Choose Option 2 after you choose the language.   

Then Press 1    

Then Press 3   

Then Press 2, it will then transfer you to an agent.
